The Mysterious Groumet? Is my translator broken...? haha

Anyway, Blasterion, I agree the lack of Tatsumaki Zankantou was slightly disappointing, but the episode itself was the greatest ever. And since it IS in the op, that just means they are saving it up for future use...

Also, did you lol at the troll-ED?

+ Show Spoiler [Onii-chan blah blah blah ep 2] +

Swimsuit with kneesocks? That's just weird.

Iroha is fucking awesome. Much better than Nao.

+ Show Spoiler [LoGH 39+40] +

Yang's so awkward dealing with people it's hilarious. Bagdashu is still awesome.

Hahahaha, "You can't eat bouquets!" But they went ahead and did it anyways. Must be Greenhill's nagging.

Documentary episode was kinda interesting. A little more backstory is never a bad thing, especially considering how much there is for LoGH.

I'm constantly amazed by how good the humor in this series is.

Edit: WTF, people actually managed to translate the runes in Madoka.

Edit 2:
+ Show Spoiler [Mirai Nikki side stories] +

Paradox was weird, but hilarious. Bonus points for actually being plot relevant.

Mosaic was also really funny, and awesome because Minene was the focus. God she's such a good character. Equal parts funny, moe, and insane.

BEST CHARACTER

Yeah, the Madoka fanbase has been really hardcore/awesome. The amount of crazy speculation and work people have done on this show (after only 2 episodes!) is ridiculous.

Example of a chart detailing one theory as to what will happen:

I put this on my GF's facebook and had a good giggle out of it. It's just a loop from a scene in Clannad.

I had to stop before dying of laugh. I wonder what Nagisa was thinking at the time, looking at them like that.

Loved the whole history episode. The whole exodus thing reminded me a lot of Moses. Heinessein died before they reached the "promised land", it took half a century, etc. I really like those ice ships though.

I like how Yang think so highly of Reinhard all the time. Can't wait for them to actually meet each other.

IIRC, there really hasn't been a series in recent times that has required as much speculation as Madoka has; it could pretty much go anywhere at this point and the fact that so much has happened within just two episodes is pretty satisfying.

Though it would be comically disappointing if all of this speculation was simply wasted on a series that just ended up being Nanoha.3.

Horou Musoko's premise is really interesting; despite the supposed large time skip (I still have to check out the manga to get a better understanding of the backgrounds between everyone), it looks to be a pretty heavy series; I can't wait to see where it goes from here.

I spent like 10min looking for the one that I thought would be the most amusing and that was it. I was close to doing something with the scene where Nagisa was drunk, but that wasn't really anything to loop with.

It's been a while since I have watched much anime. Berserk, Cowboy Bepop, Evangelion, Ninja scroll I've watched a few really good ones, but lately I haven't found myself attracted to anime anymore. but the other day i found this show on Hulu and I've gotten completely sucked in. It's called Claymore, does anyone find this show as awesome as me?

I really enjoyed Claymore, but I really hated how they butchered the ending by departing from the manga completely at the end.

Claymore was one of the first animes I watched and although the ending got horridly butchered the show remains amazing, the character depth was quite good and the story progressed nicely, I wish they would remake the ending and do a season 2 as the manga has gotten quite interesting but I doubt they will

.

I also have a huge Claire Wall scroll with her in the battle clothes from the church scene =D

Yeah, I really wish they would re-do it as well and follow the manga more closely.

The big reason I want season 2 (which was supposed to happen due to the poll hitting the required amounts) was in the manga Claire and the other survivors are pretty much badass.

The only plot hole within the anime itself is that
+ Show Spoiler +

When Claire kills number 3 (I think?) well one of the top 5 after that one awakened with the flash sword, the rules in the organization was you take the place of that number, but she was still reffered to throughout the story at #48. Also note this all happend before they were exiled so she should have been recognized as #3. . .

If this isnt a plothole would you mind clarifiying it for me. :D

Holy check

Hourou musuko is amazingg! It was produced so much better than i thought it would be

True its skipped out the first half of the story so i guessit would be difficult for someone who hasnt read the manga to follow it.

I have to say, its one of my favourite mangas of all time. The only issue you might have is that the characters act way more mature than their age which i guess is slightly unrealistic, but imho it really fits the theme.
<3 this season so much

IDK if it's a subject very suitable for that age-group, but it's made really well. Not sure I want to watch though. Fractale is looking much better, but idk, this season doesn't look to be all THAT great as of yet. We'll see I suppose.
